Getting past difficult 5-meo experiences
I help people get their lives back after terrifying 5-MEO experiences, and get to a better place than before.
The challenge
5-MEO-DMT, the main psychoactive ingredient in Bufo, is different than other psychedelics. With the right facilitators it can be a positive, life-changing experience for many people - experiencing the oneness of everything, universal infinite loving energy.
However, some people have very difficult experiences that can have a big impact on their lives. You may wonder if everything is an illusion and develop a fear of death or even a fear of going to sleep or meditating. “Will I go into infinite nothingness and will this life with my family and loved ones never have existed?”. Those thoughts can come along with feelings of anxiety and hopelessness.
I’ve been there. The good news is you can get past those challenges. And you can get to a better place than where you started your journey - what you were aiming for in the beginning.
If you’ve had a difficult 5-MEO experience that is affecting your life, schedule a free call - I may be able to help.
About me
I'm Jesse Schuhlein, leadership IFS coach. I've experienced those difficult (understatement) 5-MEO experiences and I know how it can affect your life afterwards. With the right help and tools I was able to get through it and end up in a better place than where I started. I help other people get through the same journey. More about me and my journey here.
Why do we seek out 5-MEO?
People have different reasons for seeking out a 5-MEO journey:
- Feeling stuck.
- Curious about the nature of reality and consciousness.
- Feeling that there’s “something more” - want to see what’s behind the curtain.
- Want to know what happens when we die.
- Is there a god or some universal presence?
- Want to escape from suffering.
- Heal through somatic release.
- Want to know that everything will be alright.
- Want to be part of an ocean of pure love or bliss.
Difficult experiences
Some people find what they are looking for in the first session. Other people can have terrifying experiences:
- The void: infinite nothingness where nothing has ever existed, not even time. Lonely forever feeling. “Infinity is not what I expected”
- Fear of death - what if I die and I only experience the void forever?
- Disintegration: fear of abandoning kids, family, loved ones
- There is no ultimate meaning or purpose.
- Coming back: How real is this reality? Is it all an illusion? If I experienced time not existing, how can I be in a place where there is time. It can’t be real. Did I even come back to the same life? Are my memories real?
- Other psychedelics and cannabis can take you back to that scary place.
My approach
I use IFS (internal family systems) in my psychedelic integration coaching - it was powerful for me in my journey.
The good news is most people get back to a good place in time, without any help. But that can sometimes take many months or years. Getting some help can get you back faster, and to a better place.
The goal
Here is where I got to, and where I can help you get to:
- No fear of death.
- Feel that the world around you is real and that you are an important and real part of this world.
- Feeling a sense of wonder, appreciation and connection with the world.
- Time is abundant.
- At the core of our consciousness is stillness and bliss. You are part of everything and this world continues forever. There’s nothing to worry about.
I don’t go around feeling wonderful all the time - I struggle my way through life like everyone else - but once you experience and fully feel and know these things, it helps you accept and embrace reality as it unfolds.
